Septuagenarian widower Ralph Roberts has incurable insomnia, but it turns out that lack of sleep is the least of his worries in this tale, "a yarn so packed with suspense, romance, literary reference, fascinating miscellaneous knowledge, and heart that only Stephen King could have written it" (Booklist). Each night he stays awake, Ralph witnesses more and more bizarre and terrifying activity in his neighborhood in Derry, Maine—the same town at the center of It. Some people are not acting like themselves, and some bald guys are sneaking into people's houses. But is any of it real? Because if Ralph is not hallucinating, then everybody in town is in serious trouble. Tony and Emmy Award winner Eli Wallach reads this unabridged audiobook. "His characterizations are very good," noted AudioFile, "and the hero, Ralph Roberts, is perfect."
